The Business Challenge
With Aspen’s dedication to continuous innovation and recent entrance in the Canadian market, improving its customer engagement process has been top of mind. Sylvain Desjeans, Aspen Canada Country Manager and a thought leader endeavored a sales management system that would alleviate its current challenges of managing all of its sales and client activities on Microsoft Excel.
As competitive pressure grew, Aspen realized its current method of collecting and sharing customer data was sorely inadequate. Sales reps entered account data into individual Excel spreadsheets whenever they had time. This labor-intensive process meant that even the most up-to-date customer data might already go stale by the time it was released for executives.
Sylvain was also concerned about the organizational knowledge Aspen lost when sales representatives quit. “When employees leave, they often take important knowledge with them,” says Sylvain. “In some cases, a sales representative exits the company, and you discover you don’t even have basic contact information on a current account.”
Aspen’s management team were concerned about lost opportunities. “We knew we were missing business because we didn’t follow up on sales leads or share information about new prospects,” says Sylvain. “As we acquired more sales staff, we knew processes would grow out of Excel. We needed a way to ensure that all sales activities in our complex cycles were captured on the cloud so that team members could actively collaborate with one another in real time. We chose SalesChoice because of their in-depth Systems Integration and Advanced Analytics capabilities. They have built a complete CRM solution and they are very easy to work with.”
